art and culture

If art is to nourish the roots of our culture, society must set the artist free to follow his vision wherever it takes him.
John F. Kennedy
Conditioned
If you live only in one culture for the first 20 years of your life, you become conditioned without knowing it.
Eckhart Tolle
Cultural invasion
One cannot expect positive results from an educational or political action program which fails to respect the particular view of the world held by the people. Such a program constitutes cultural invasion, good intentions notwithstanding.
Paulo Freire
Except education and culture
The soul takes nothing with her to the next world but her education and her culture. At the beginning of the journey to the next world, one's education and culture can either provide the greatest assistance, or else act as the greatest burden, to the person who has just died.
Plato
Ferocious
It is not part of a true culture to tame tigers, any more than it is to make sheep ferocious.
Henry David Thoreau
Finite segment
'Culture' is a finite segment of the meaningless infinity of the world process, a segment on which human beings confer meaning and significance.
Max Weber
Gift to the future
Without culture, and the relative freedom it implies, society, even when perfect, is but a jungle. This is why any authentic creation is a gift to the future.
Albert Camus
How everything is arranged
Everything is arranged so that it be this way, this is what is called culture.
Jacques Derrida
Independence
A mind cannot be independent of culture.
Lev Vygotsky
Made aware
We are being made aware that the organization of society on the principle of private profit, as well as public destruction, is leading both to the deformation of humanity by unregulated industrialism, and to the exhaustion of natural resources, and that a good deal of our material progress is a progress for which succeeding generations may have to pay dearly.
T.S. Eliot
Obstacle to culture
The tendency to aggression is an innate, independent, instinctual disposition in man... it constitutes the powerful obstacle to culture.
Sigmund Freud
The cry of men
Culture: the cry of men in face of their destiny.
Albert Camus
They have to be paid for
Like every other good thing in this world, leisure and culture have to be paid for. Fortunately, however, it is not the leisured and the cultured who have to pay.
Aldous Huxley
Undestanding
Culture makes people understand each other better. And if they understand each other better in their soul, it is easier to overcome the economic and political barriers. But first they have to understand that their neighbour is, in the end, just like them, with the same problems, the same questions.
Paulo Coelho
You can describe it
I don't think culture is something you can describe.
Bill Gates
